Tfa was a little short on information on what I'm curious about, now -- where does all the energy come from to drive this thing? I would have guessed that Saturn's far enough away from the sun that solar energy's kinda weak. Either I'm really mistaken, or something else is helping drive the weather. Some kinda geothermal thing?

Beats me, but Saturn is huge and its day is only like 11 hours.

BolloxReader:Mr. Eugenides: Wait a second, why should NASA be called Eddie?

Because it is getting hacked to death by a jealous, crazed entity due to it's popular appeal, so that it stops distracting us from the delusions about reality that the perpetrators want to feed?

For the first time in years, I caught a few minutes of the Weather Channel while staying at a hotel. Their naming of storms seemed extremely forced and utterly retarded. I'm glad that I dumped cable years ago and no longer give money to those fools via subscription fees.

/is very sad that the Weather Channel purchased Weather Underground last year

js34603:Don't hurricanes involve water in some way? I thought that was the difference between a hurricane and a tornado. I didn't think there was water on Saturn.

/weather ignorant//this thing is cool though no matter what it's made of

Well technically a tornado has to touch ground somewhere, and Saturn has no solid surface that we know of. I'm still more fascinated by the gigantic hexagon this thing is in the middle of that I still haven't seen a solid explanation for.
